This record presents a detailed mathematical and computational study of the reduced Collatz-type map generated by F(n) = floor(6n/5) + 1, followed by complete removal of every factor of 5. The reduced transformation is therefore T(n) = F(n) / 5^ν₅(F(n)), where ν₅(m) denotes the 5-adic valuation of m. The map contains the exact cycle 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1, which is the only attractor observed in the exhaustive computation reported here. A complete first-descent verification was performed for every positive integer 1 ≤ n ≤ 10^11. For every tested starting value n ≥ 5, an iterate strictly smaller than n was reached. The maximum first-descent stopping time was τ_max = 422, first attained at n = 55,335,461,598. The maximum elementary stopping count was 470. The largest observed 5-adic valuation was ν₅ = 16, and the largest intermediate state encountered was 8,669,800,813,122,806,007,604, arising from the starting value n = 37,266,730,278. The computation processed 100,000,000,000 starting values in 4,000 independent chunks. The mean first-descent stopping time was 6.18073627485. The observed fraction of steps at which 5-adic reduction was activated was 0.1999996001463434, extremely close to 1/5. The mean number of divisions by 5 per growth step was 0.24999981555069667, extremely close to 1/4. The accompanying article develops the algebraic, modular, 5-adic, inverse-branch, cycle, and probabilistic structure of the map. It derives exact residue conditions for reduction, studies hypothetical periodic orbits through Diophantine identities, analyzes inverse branches, and develops a probabilistic model for the 5-adic reduction process. A strict distinction is maintained between exact algebraic results, exhaustive finite-range computation, and probabilistic interpretation. The reproducibility package contains the complete 4,000-chunk computational certificate set, SHA-256 manifests, summary statistics, stopping-time histograms, record tables, production C++ source code, aggregation and verification tools, execution logs, and the LaTeX source of the article. The exhaustive computation establishes that every positive integer n ≤ 10^11 eventually enters the cycle 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1. Equivalently, convergence to 1 is computationally verified throughout the entire tested range. The broader global convergence conjecture states that every positive integer eventually enters the same cycle. This conjecture remains open beyond the verified range.
